Reply to comment by thebubblyparalegal in Other states.. by Imaginary_Kangaroo80

That's interesting. Lifelong RI resident and visited Texas not all that long ago Flew in and out from San Antonio. Last night in Texas was spent in a hotel next to the airport due to a early departure. Around midnight some dumbass drove by on the highway unloading his mag from a vehicle. Scared the shit out of me and I jumped out of bed and hit the floor. Was quite happy to come home. Fwiw I live near the rod and gun club and own a couple firearms. It's different for sure.

What you heard may not have been a gun, could have been a two step backfire. They sound very similar. Welcome to Texas, where we can’t tell if someone’s truck is fucking up or if they’re unloading a clip!

But yeah, they’ve taken 10 steps back with all of these insanely loose gun laws. I’ve been wondering if their goal is to just create the state into some massive survival of the fittest challenge, seems that way.

Mind blown that you would reply with this. I'm a car guy who drag races,street races and wrenches on all kinds of stuff. Done it for 30 years and counting. I own a turbo car with a 2 step and this is a just a downright weird coincidence that you reply with this as a possibility. I have enough know how to say with great confidence it wasn't a 2 step it was some asshole shooting from the highway.

I dated losers who drove big trucks with confederate flags attached to the back in high school, they taught me more about cars and trucks than I would like to admit. I expected you to not know what I was walking about, so yeah, odd coincidence.

I’m glad you know the difference… A lot of people from Cali have moved into my hometown & someone is always posting about hearing a drive by shooting in the local Facebook group. Roughly 2 hours later, some dude will comment and have to explain his entire car to 30 confused middle aged women. Every time.
